On the first hand of hand for hand paly, former Quantum winner Stephen Spunt found himself all in and ahead, holding [Ah][Js] to the [Kd][10c] of Yuchen Chen (pictured above). Both players found a pair on the flop of [Ks][Jc][7s], but it was Chen who took the lead. The [9s] turn changed nothing, nor did the [3c] turn, and Spunt is the last player to head home empty handed tonight.
